The daily life of a cold and aloof general raising his wife

The Grand Princess knew her granddaughter was reluctant to part with her, and said, "I'm old and prefer peace and quiet."

"But I'm worried about you going alone."

The Grand Princess in her previous life passed away in this year.

"I have a lot of people serving me, so you don't need to worry about me."

Jiang Shuwan said coquettishly, "No, if you insist on going, then I'll go with you."

The Grand Princess said, "What will happen if you come with me to the General's Mansion on Mount Wutai? What about Huaiyuan?"

Jiang Shuwan knew she definitely couldn't go to Mount Wutai, but she was really worried about her grandmother.

"Grandmother, you should stay in the capital. That way, Wan'er can come and take care of you often," Xie Huai'an said, trying to persuade her to stay.

Jiang Shuwan added, "Yes, Grandmother, if you stay in the capital, I can come to see you and talk to you often. I used to accompany you when you were at Mount Wutai. You'll be so lonely going alone this time."

The Grand Princess had only mentioned it casually, but she didn't expect that her granddaughter and grandson-in-law didn't want her to leave, so she had no choice but to compromise.

"Okay, okay, I'm not going."

When Jiang Shuwan heard the Grand Princess say she wouldn't be going, she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes.

The Grand Princess looked at Jiang Shuwan with doting eyes. Since Jiang Shuwan married Xie Huai'an, she has smiled more often and has become much more lively and cheerful than before.

After Jiang Shuwan and her group finished their meal at the Grand Princess's residence and chatted with the Grand Princess for a while, they returned to the General's residence.

Although he didn't have to attend court for the next few days, Xie Huai'an still had to be on duty, and he started getting busy the next day.

Xie Huaiyu spends his days reading in his room; he will be taking the provincial examination next month.

Every day, many people sent invitations to the General's Mansion. Jiang Shuwan selected those that required her to personally handle and declined the rest.

Du Siyu has come to the General's Mansion. This time, she sent her invitation in advance.

Du Siyu smiled broadly when she saw Jiang Shuwan, "Big Cousin."

Jiang Shuwan smiled and nodded, "Cousin Siyu."

Jiang Shuwan and Du Siyu have been getting quite close lately.

After the usual pleasantries, Du Siyu began to talk about the Huian Earl's Mansion.

Every time she met Jiang Shuwan, she would talk about the Huian Marquis's Mansion, because she sensed that Jiang Shuwan was interested in it, so she would bring it up every time she met Jiang Shuwan.

But recently, Lin Ruoqing hasn't acted strangely at all; she's even more cautious than before, which is why she hasn't seen Ye Shi scold her for a long time.

Du Siyu has been doing quite well lately. Knowing that her mother-in-law, Ye, likes to play cards, she catered to her interests. After playing cards a few times, Ye stopped treating her so badly.

"Nothing has happened to Lin Ruoqing recently," Du Siyu said after thinking for a long time.

Jiang Shuwan chuckled and said, "Cousin Siyu, there's no need for that."

Du Siyu felt a little embarrassed that Jiang Shuwan had seen through her. She thought that her older cousin didn't like Lin Ruoqing, so she liked to hear about Lin Ruoqing's suffering.

"Don't worry, cousin. My mother-in-law doesn't like Lin Ruoqing. She can't hide forever. She won't have an easy time in the He family."

Jiang Shuwan knew she had misunderstood, and said, "I don't care how she's doing."

"what?"

Du Siyu was a little confused. Had she guessed wrong? Her older cousin didn't hold a grudge against Lin Ruoqing? Her thoughts were written all over her face.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Shuwan laughed and said, "Why would I hold a grudge against Lin Ruoqing?"

"Isn't it because she stole your original marriage?"

Du Siyu has always thought this way.

Jiang Shuwan calmly said, "I personally canceled the marriage with the Marquis of Huian's family; it has nothing to do with her."

"???"

Du Siyu's eyes widened. She really didn't know about this. She had only heard rumors that He Zhilin and Lin Ruoqing were in love and that He Zhilin had dumped her older cousin. Sure enough, rumors can't be believed entirely.

Then she remembered that her older cousin had sent Lin Ruoqing's brother to exile before the New Year. Although Lin Hongye had indeed offended her older cousin, it didn't warrant exile.

Du Siyu is no longer as afraid of her older cousin, and she directly asks questions when she has doubts.

"My older cousin, that Lin Ruoqing brother..."

Jiang Shuwan casually said, "He delivered himself to my door. I originally planned to teach him a lesson and let it go, but He Zhilin stepped in to vouch for him."

Jiang Shuwan didn't finish her sentence, but Du Siyu understood instantly. She thought to herself, "It's definitely better to have more power; you can do whatever you want."

Actually, this was Jiang Shuwan's way of fooling Du Siyu. Lin Hongye, a gambler and womanizer, had abducted a woman this year in his previous life. The woman, unable to bear the humiliation, committed suicide. Her elderly parents beat the drum to appeal for justice, but the officials protected each other, leaving the parents with nowhere to seek redress. Fortunately, they encountered the upright Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, and the case was eventually transferred to the Court of Judicial Review. Seeing that he couldn't quell the matter himself, Lin's father sought out He Zhilin, who ultimately paid a large sum of money to settle the matter.

Jiang Shuwan and He Zhilin had a major conflict because of this incident. In this life, Lin Hongye's exile of that woman should help him avoid this disaster.

"Big cousin, I misunderstood."

Jiang Shuwan continued, "Lin Ruoqing's family background is not as good as mine, and the husband she married is not as good as mine, so why should I hold a grudge against her?"

Du Siyu thought Jiang Shuwan was right. She was living a really good life now. No mother-in-law bullied her, and she was in charge of the huge general's mansion all by herself. She was envious!

Jiang Shuwan asked, "You've been married into the Huian Marquis's household for some time now, do you have any plans?"

"planning?"

Du Siyu had never thought of that.

Jiang Shuwan reminded her, "The title of Marquis of Huian will probably not fall to the third son of the He family. You should make some plans."

Du Siyu fell into deep thought. She knew all this, but what should she do?

She humbly asked for advice, "Cousin, could you give me some pointers?"

Although Du Siyu isn't kind, she doesn't have bad intentions and wouldn't think of harming anyone. Jiang Shuwan might need her help in the future.

"Since He Sanlang is no good, then you should raise the child and make sure you don't offend anyone in the Earl's mansion."

Du Siyu suddenly realized, "Yes, if the man isn't good enough, then she'll raise the child."

"Thank you for the reminder, cousin. Please feel free to ask me for help if you ever need it."

Jiang Shuwan took a sip of tea and said, "Don't bother with any orders. Just come and visit more often in the future."

Du Siyu's mind worked quickly this time, and she immediately responded.

After sitting in the General's Mansion for an hour, Du Siyu finally came out. Sitting in the carriage, she placed her hand on her belly. Yes, only with a child could she gain a foothold in the Earl's Mansion.

After Du Siyu left, Feiyun was puzzled. "Madam, we didn't have a good relationship with Miss Siyu before, so why did you help her?"

"She has helped me a lot without me even realizing it, and she's not a bad person at heart, so I can get to know her first."

If Du Siyu crosses her bottom line, she will absolutely never have anything to do with her again.

The lady believed Feiyue and Feiyun unconditionally no matter what she did.
